Elena

‘8 missed calls from Rona

‘From Elena

To: Rona

I’m alright, don’t worry about me. I’ll call you back later!”

Confused, I looked down at the key in my hands as I blocked off the sound of the waiting area. I didn’t even know what I was doing here or why I even felt the need to come-but it had somehow turned out this way.

Anya…

I squeezed the key in my hands as I thought about her request. The key was meant for Marvin and only him. Would he survive?

“Elena!”

No, not again.

I jumped up from the bench and stepped back in fear as I looked at my dad, who was trying to force his way into the waiting room. “No, sir-this is only meant for close relatives!” Two nurses held him back.

“But she isn’t a relative, she’s-

“Sir, that’s his wife.”

“No, that’s my daughter-and as far as I’m concerned, she does not have a husband!”

“Elena!” My dad called out once again. My brother, Alex, who had quickly noticed that it wasn’t going anywhere, held him back and pulled him away. “Dad, let’s go.”

“Elena, come here right now!” My dad yelled out as Alex dragged him away. I looked from my shaking arms to the key in my hands.I can’t leave. I can’t do that.

Not after Anya’s wish, and not after Marvin is fighting for his life because of me.

My body froze as bullets flew across the room. Was this real life? In what kind of movie did I find myself in?

Marvin wrapped his arms around my body and turned me around to shield me while I held my hand in front of my ears with only one thought running through my mind. I am going to die, these are my final moments, and I’m going to

die.

I closed my eyes and prepared myself to take my last breath, but before that could happen, everything had suddenly stopped. Was I dead? Was I in heaven? Was I in hell?

“A-Anya?” Tiago broke the silence. It was enough for me to turn my head, and I could not believe my eyes. Anya’s body was covered in blood.

I ran over to Anya’s side and turned to look at the same man who had been all up in my business and interrupted me earlier in the hallway.
